earthquakes
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
It is called erosion.
The vibrations that occur when rocks break are called seismic waves. These waves are generated by the sudden release of energy during rock fractures and can travel through the Earth, causing earthquakes.
erosion can break rocks apart, weathering can also break rocks apart
That is called a fault. A fault is a break in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side can move relative to each other due to tectonic forces.

The shaking or vibration in the underground rocks of the moon is called a moonquake. Moonquakes were first discovered by the Apollo astronauts and are known to last for as long as an hour.
When plate movement causes rocks to break it is call an earthquake.
Sediment.
The process in which rocks first bend and then break is called deformation. Deformation occurs when rocks experience stress, which can be caused by tectonic forces, pressure, or temperature changes. Initially, rocks may bend or fold under this stress, but if the stress is too great, the rocks can eventually break or fracture.
A break or crack along which rocks move is called a fault. Sudden motion along the faults result to earthquakes.

Sedimentation
This process is called "faulting," where rocks break and slide against each other due to tectonic forces, creating faults in the Earth's crust.
